in_o this_o petition_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o we_o pray_v for_o as_o the_o antinomian_n contend_v for_o we_o pray_v principal_o for_o the_o real_a exhibition_n of_o pardon_n and_o secondary_o for_o the_o declaration_n and_o manifestation_n of_o it_o in_o our_o conscience_n their_o conceit_n be_v that_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n have_v pardon_v our_o sin_n past_a present_a and_o to_o

question_n by_o it_o self_n only_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o some_o few_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o assurance_n and_o manifestation_n of_o pardon_n but_o also_o for_o pardon_v itself_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o only_o first_o we_o may_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n interpret_v all_o the_o other_o petition_n in_o regard_n of_o declaration_n only_o and_o not_o exhibition_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o sanctification_n and_o glorification_n in_o that_o petition_n thy_o kingdom_n come_v it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o say_v 1._o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v and_o glorify_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v convert_v or_o save_v in_o heaven_n this_o be_v but_o to_o our_o sense_n and_o feeling_n this_o argument_n seem_v to_o be_v so_o strong_a against_o they_o that_o they_o have_v confess_v a_o man_n be_v already_o glorify_v while_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n most_o absurd_o confound_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n from_o eternity_n to_o do_v thing_n with_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o in_o time_n how_o ridiculous_a will_v it_o be_v to_o expound_v that_o petition_n give_v we_o our_o daily_a bread_n thus_o not_o that_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o daily_a bread_n but_o only_o make_v we_o to_o see_v and_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v give_v it_o we_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n â—_o when_o sin_n be_v pardon_v it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v blot_v out_o now_o that_o blot_v out_o be_v not_o only_o from_o a_o man_n conscience_n and_o feeling_n but_o more_o immediate_o out_o of_o god_n book_n so_o that_o when_o god_n do_v forgive_v he_o do_v cancel_v those_o debt_n which_o be_v in_o his_o book_n and_o not_o only_o the_o guilt_n that_o lie_v upon_o our_o heart_n therefore_o these_o be_v very_o separable_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o a_o man_n may_v feel_v no_o weight_n or_o burden_n of_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o yet_o it_o stand_v in_o fiery_a character_n against_o he_o in_o god_n book_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o sin_n may_v be_v blot_v out_o there_o yet_o be_v very_o heavy_a and_o terrible_a in_o a_o man_n feeling_n and_o apprehension_n so_o sin_n pardon_v be_v say_v to_o be_v cover_v or_o hide_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o as_o if_o it_o be_v take_v from_o our_o sight_n but_o from_o god_n sight_n and_o he_o be_v say_v to_o cast_v our_o sin_n behind_o his_o back_n not_o we_o the_o three_o reason_n this_o explication_n 3._o as_o the_o whole_a sense_n of_o the_o petition_n will_v overthrow_v all_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o make_v no_o pardon_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v but_o where_o the_o subject_n have_v such_o qualification_n as_o this_o in_o the_o text_n of_o forgive_n other_o it_o be_v not_o indeed_o put_v as_o a_o cause_n or_o merit_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o a_o qualification_n of_o the_o subject_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n repeat_v this_o again_o except_o you_o forgive_v other_o neither_o will_v my_o heavenly_a father_n forgive_v you_o so_o act._n 10.43_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v have_v remission_n of_o sin_n rom._n 3.15_o he_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n here_o faith_n be_v make_v a_o instrument_n to_o apply_v and_o bring_v that_o pardon_n to_o the_o soul_n which_o it_o have_v not_o before_o so_o 1_o joh._n 1.9_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n by_o these_o and_o the_o like_a scripture_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v give_v we_o only_o in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o grace_n not_o that_o hereby_o we_o merit_v at_o god_n hand_n or_o that_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o these_o way_n but_o it_o be_v here_o as_o in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o have_v tie_v himself_o to_o convey_v his_o grace_n in_o no_o other_o channel_n or_o conduit_n than_o he_o have_v appoint_v 4._o last_o this_o will_v make_v no_o difference_n between_o sin_n repent_v of_o and_o not_o repent_v of_o for_o if_o they_o be_v all_o pardon_v from_o eternity_n than_o sin_n that_o be_v humble_v for_o and_o that_o be_v unhumble_v for_o have_v the_o like_a consideration_n on_o god_n part_n and_o i_o

only_o for_o sin_n past_a but_o aforehand_o also_o for_o all_o sin_n to_o come_v god_n do_v not_o antedate_v his_o pardon_n before_o the_o sin_n be_v commit_v or_o repent_v of_o but_o of_o this_o more_o large_o in_o time_n punishment_n 6._o we_o pray_v that_o as_o god_n do_v forgive_v the_o sin_n so_o also_o he_o will_v release_v the_o punishment_n and_o take_v away_o all_o the_o wrath_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o it_o it_o be_v a_o mockery_n which_o papist_n make_v about_o pardon_n as_o if_o indeed_o god_n do_v pardon_v the_o sin_n but_o the_o punishment_n that_o abide_v still_o and_o

but_o these_o be_v fatherly_a chastisement_n not_o judicial_a punishment_n but_o in_o this_o prayer_n we_o desire_v also_o that_o as_o the_o sin_n be_v remove_v so_o also_o whatsoever_o trouble_v

7._o in_o this_o petition_n we_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o those_o effect_n of_o sin_n which_o god_n have_v immutable_o set_v upon_o it_o such_o as_o be_v sickness_n death_n and_o corruption_n for_o although_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n have_v promise_v a_o perfect_a pardon_n of_o sin_n yet_o we_o can_v come_v to_o a_o full_a enjoyment_n of_o all_o those_o privilege_n which_o remission_n of_o sin_n do_v bring_v till_o we_o be_v free_v from_o death_n and_o corruption_n so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v the_o death_n and_o grave_n still_o sin_n have_v some_o power_n we_o therefore_o pray_v that_o whatsoever_o mortality_n and_o corruption_n sin_n have_v bring_v in_o it_o may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o make_v fit_a for_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v the_o consequent_a of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o pardon_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a privative_a mercy_n free_v we_o from_o god_n wrath_n but_o there_o be_v also_o a_o positive_a invest_n of_o we_o with_o a_o title_n to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o glory_n only_o our_o corruptibility_n hinder_v we_o from_o the_o actual_a possession_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v a_o right_n unto_o we_o therefore_o pray_v that_o as_o god_n remove_v our_o sin_n so_o he_o will_v also_o remove_v all_o the_o sad_a effect_n and_o mischievous_a fruit_n which_o come_v in_o by_o it_o 8._o we_o pray_v not_o only_o for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n thereof_o but_o also_o for_o the_o good_a concomitant_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o which_o be_v peace_n with_o god_n

may_v easy_o see_v which_o of_o these_o two_o justification_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v effect_n the_o first_o and_o proper_a difference_n be_v this_o a_o immanent_a action_n be_v that_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o transient_a action_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o time_n howsoever_o therefore_o justification_n be_v call_v by_o some_o a_o immanent_a action_n and_o so_o make_v to_o go_v before_o faith_n and_o repentance_n 18._o as_o if_o faith_n be_v only_o a_o declaration_n and_o sign_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n from_o all_o eternity_n yet_o that_o can_v be_v

to_o prepare_v they_o to_o their_o conversion_n for_o god_n see_v sin_n in_o they_o lay_v cross_n upon_o they_o now_o these_o elect_a person_n he_o call_v unconvert_v active_o and_o declarative_o in_o a_o very_a ambiguous_a and_o suspicious_a manner_n as_o if_o conversion_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n as_o well_o as_o justification_n so_o that_o as_o they_o say_v a_o man_n in_o time_n be_v

therefore_o he_o make_v they_o to_o be_v only_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o to_o exercise_v their_o faith_n so_o that_o by_o his_o divinity_n when_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v afflict_v the_o
